Hi Sir/Ma'am.


I need an advice. My mom po had an affair. Ngayon po,gusto siya kasuhan ng concubinage. I gather informations and mga evidences na binigay samin ng asawang babae po na gusto magfile ng case. Nakita daw wife na nagpadala ung husband niya ng money sa mom ko but when we asked about the receipt wala sila napakita, print screen po na nagpost ung mom ko sa fb ng picture ng lalaki with a caption of "i love you", then messages daw of my mom dun sa wife asking for the number ng lalaki and telling na di daw siya pwede pabayaan and the wife kept on telling na binubulabog daw ng mom ko ung mga anak niya. Ung husband po is a seaman and as far as we know, separated daw ung mag asawa (not legally). Un daw po ung sabi ng husband sa mom ko. With all the infos and evidences na pwede ipresent ng wife, ano po ung pwede namin gawin at may pwede pa po ba kaming mailaban? You're response will be highly appreciated.

Medyo naguluhan ako. So, your mother is the paramour (the lover) of the unfaithful husband. And it is the legal wife of the man who wants to file a case against your mother. Ganoon ba?

Ganito iyon, sa ating Revised Penal Code, ang isang lalaki na mangaliwa at magkaroon ng relasyons sekswal sa ibang babae na hindi niya asawa ay maaaring hablahan ng concubinage. Ngunit, mahirap i-prove ang concubinage.

Sa ilalim kasi ng concubinage, kailangang may prueba na ibinabahay ng lalaki ang kanyang kabit (sorry for the language, kaso, iyan talaga ang gamit na salita). Or, maliwanag na kahit di sila kasal, sila'y nabubuhay na para bang sila'y kasal at ito'y hayagan na kanilang ginagawa kung kaya't ito'y nakaka-iskandalo.

Bukod dito, kung magde-demanda ang legal wife ng concubinage, kailangan ang una niyang idemanda ay ang kanyang asawa. Kung hindi niya idedemanda o isasama sa demanda ang kanyang sariling asawa, hindi puedeng kasuhang ang babae o ang kabit. Kasi, ang unang-unang may kasalanan sa pagkasira ng pagsasama ng mag-asawa ay iyong lalaking nangaliwa. So, kailangang idemanda din ng wife iyong husband at saka ang kanyang kinakasama o kabit. Kung hindi niya idedemanda ang kanyang husband, hindi papayagan ng husgado na litisin ang kabit.
